    What do you do if you run out of LPP?

    Are we ever going to be able to get the LPP again?

    Grip medallions or not? That is the question…

    I see a lot of grips that I like on the Rugers. Usually, my eye is drawn to stag with light bark or aged ivory-like magna or holly Wood. I keep waffling on medallions. Doest it make sense they look better in a bisley grip and not as much on xr3 grips?

    Unique vs AA#5

    I’ve been doing a lot of research/reading for tier II or midrange/medium loads in 357 and 44. I have large amounts of No 2 and No 5 Available. I can’t count the number of times I see someone ask about No.5 and someone answers not to use No 5 it is too fast, but they use Unique or recommend...

    44 spcl/mag lever

    Well, I gave in… I have avoided 9mm. I have avoided magnums. I shoot 38 spcl, 45 acp, and 45 colt and load for all of them. I have enjoyed not needing magnum powders and magnum primers. However, I couldn’t wait any longer for a Ruger-Marlin in .45 to be introduced and the street prices...

    Components for cartridges you don’t shoot?

    Do you buy and keep components for cartridges you don’t shoot? I’m always buying brass when I see it even if I don’t have a firearm for that cartridge yet. Examples are: .348 win, .35 rem, .44 rem…. I go back and forth on the 44 even though I shoot plenty of 45 colt. I still keep .32 long and...

    Holiday reloading and returning from a long break

    I’m sure I’m not the only one that can’t yet enjoy shooting and reloading all year or as much as he would like to because of work and other commitments - or lack of components. Today starts my holiday stretch and I’m getting back in action. I can’t be the only one super excited to crank some...

    RCBS ... withering?

    Every time I start to show interest in an rcbs product it is discontinued. Their entire single stage and progressive press line seems to be discontinued at the moment and I’m not sure what their strategy is. Do you consider rcbs a dying brand? I’m afraid to invest a lot of money in rcbs...

    Equipment spare small parts inventory?

    I am branching off another thread rather than hijack it with a question. I mentioned my powder measure is down because of a broken small part. I am looking to order a replacement and looking at the parts list I started noticing all the small replacement parts the vendor sells for it. I...

    .223 bolt action decision - Weatherby V S2 HB RC vs. Browning X-bolt SR

    I am pretty much resolved to choosing a .223 bolt action for casual bench shooting between the Weatherby Vanguard H-BAR RC and the Browning X-Bolt CF SR. I have searched and researched, but feel even though I am aware of some of the quirks of both rifles many are similar (for instance, quality...

    powder range gaps?

    I am reloading 45LC with AA#2 for a Ruger Blackhawk using Accurate's load data with LSWC 255gr. I started with 5.X grains and have worked up. I am now past the point of standard pressure 7.0 grains, but the +P range starts with 9.0 grains and goes to 10.6. With 38 SPCL, the AA#2 data for...

    Federal Champion 38 brass

    I saw a deal on some Federal Champion 38 at Walmart and bit. It was 158 LRN and shot ok, not really very accurate out of a 642. I tumbled the brass and went to deprime with the Lee Universal decapper in the hand press and the brass would not fit the 38 spcl #1 shell holder. I used the 357 mag...

    Lee Breech Lock question

    Is anyone else of the opinion that the breech lock system is a solution in search of a problem? I have Lee equipment and I find the screw down more handy than the breech lock. I do only reload handgun 38 spcl and 45 LC, so maybe rifle reloaders are more finicky in their setup? I know...
